The alternate design that Barry Keoghan’s Joker had in The Batman has been leaked. A design that was much closer to the comic.
The makeup and prosthetic designer of batman, Mike Marino, has shared a new behind-the-scenes image. In them appears a very curious detail of the joker of Barry Keoghan. Thanks to the artist’s social media posts, we have been able to see the original design that the artist had. Clown Prince of Crime of DC Comics. In the picture there is a sculpture of the actor’s head. You can clearly see that it has a different design than the one we saw in the deleted scene. The character has a much more classic hairstyle reminiscent of the comics of the Bat Man.
As our colleagues from TheDirectthis alternate version of the Joker’s design in batman It is much more comical than the one we finally saw. In fact, she is much closer to the appearance that the great villain of the Dark Knight in the comic The Laughing Man or number 475 of Detective Comicsthe secondary header of the DC hero.
Less hair and burned scalp!
However, the deleted scene of batman in which we were introduced to Barry Keoghan’s Joker revealed a different look. The Clown Prince of Crime’s hair was nearly charred. There was practically nothing left. It was like a potato or a kiwi. This is the look he officially showed:
It remains to be seen if finally this is the design that they will leave for the future sequels of batman. Everything indicates that Barry Keoghan’s Joker is here to stay. Perhaps he is not the great enemy of the Crusader of the Cloak in the second part, but it is very clear that Matt Reeves will not miss the opportunity to face the BruceWayne of Robert Pattinson with this very dark and sick version of the Clown Prince of Crime. Ultimately, the relationship between hero and villain is key to the character’s story.
